What if everything you’ve been told about interest rates and property crashes is wrong? In this episode, I sit down with Terry Ryder, veteran property researcher, author of Why Property Values Rise and Matter, and founder of Hotspotting. Together, we unpack why Australian property prices keep rising, even when experts predict downturns.
